+## Theory
-## Getting Started
+Particle or meshfree methods are a family of methods in which the state of a system is represented by a set of particles, without a fixed connectivity. As a consequence, these methods are particularly well suited for the analysis of moving discontinuities and large deformations with breaking and fragmentation. This approach does not suffer from the mesh distortion and entanglement issues posed by other Lagrangian discretizations such as the Finite Element Method (FEM).
-This application is part of the Kratos Multiphysics Platform. Instructions on how to download, install and run the software in your local machine for development and testing purposes are available for both Linux and Windows distributions [Installation page](https://github.com/KratosMultiphysics/Kratos/blob/master/INSTALL.md).
+The **Material Point Method** (MPM) is an hybrid thechnique which uses a fixed background grid (or mesh) for solving the governing equations in a FEM fashion and set of material particles (MP) for storing all the hystorical variables and material informations. The MPM has gained a remarkably increasing popularity due to its capability in simulating problems involving historically dependent materials and large deformations. As MPM is able to combine the strengths of both Eulerian and Lagrangian methods, it has been used in various engineering applications and industrial purposes, in particular in geomechanics and in the environmental fluid dynamics field.
-### Prerequisites
+## Getting Started
-Build Kratos and check the [configuration files](https://github.com/KratosMultiphysics/Kratos/blob/master/INSTALL.md#configuration-scripts-examples)
+The `MPMApplication` is part of the Kratos Multiphysics framework and can be obtained in two different ways:
+* by installing the Kratos binaries using the package manager `pip` (suggested for users that want to use the application like a black-box);
+* by downloading the source code and compiling it (suggested for developers).
+### Getting Binaries with `pip` (users)
-In LINUX: check that in the /path_to_kratos/scripts/configure.sh the followinglines are written:
+Kratos binaries are available for Linux, Windows and MacOS and can be installed by using the `pip` package manager.
-``` cmake
--DMPM_APPLICATION=ON
--DLINEAR_SOLVERS_APPLICATION=ON
+Open the terminal and run the following command:
+
+```bash
+python3 -m pip install KratosMPMApplication
```
-In WINDOWS: check that in the /path_to_kratos/scripts/configute.bat the following lines appears:
+This command will install the following packages:
+* `KratosMultiphysics`: Kratos Multiphysics Core;
+* `KratosMPMApplication`: application implementing MPM;
+* `KratosLinearSolversApplication`: dependency required by `MPMApplication`.
-```set KRATOS_APPLICATIONS=
-CALL :add_app %KRATOS_APP_DIR%\LinearSolversApplication;
-CALL :add_app %KRATOS_APP_DIR%\MPMApplication;
-```
+### Build from Source (developers)
-so the MPM application is compiled along with auxiliary linear solvers required.
+Instructions on how to download, compile and run Kratos in your local machine for development and testing purposes are available for Linux, Windows and MacOS distributions in the [installation page](https://github.com/KratosMultiphysics/Kratos/blob/master/INSTALL.md).
-## Examples
-Some use-cases and validation examples are available in the MPM section of the [Examples](https://kratosmultiphysics.github.io/Examples/) repository. Also, some unit tests of the main features can be found in the [tests](https://github.com/KratosMultiphysics/Kratos/tree/master/applications/MPMApplication/tests) folder.
+In particular, in order to use the `MPMApplication` it is also required to compile the auxiliary `LinearSolversApplication`.
-### GiD Interface
-A GiD user interface for the MPM application is also available. It is located in GiD interface repository in [GiD interface repository](https://github.com/KratosMultiphysics/GiDInterface/tree/master/).
+* In **Linux**, the following lines must appear in the `/path_to_kratos/scripts/standard_configure.sh` file:
+ ```bash
+ export KRATOS_APPLICATIONS=
+ add_app ${KRATOS_APP_DIR}/MPMApplication
+ add_app ${KRATOS_APP_DIR}/LinearSolversApplication
+ ```
-It requires [GiD](https://www.gidhome.com/) - Pre and Post Processing software.
+* In **Windows**, the following lines must appear in the `/path_to_kratos/scripts/standard_configure.sh` file:
+ ```console

----
-**Author:** Philip Franz\
-**Source files:** [cylinder_on_inclined_plane_2D](https://github.com/KratosMultiphysics/Examples/tree/master/mpm/validation/cylinder_on_inclined_plane/source)
-
-## Case Specification
-
-This is a 2D simulation of a cylinder on an inclined plane. A rotating as well as a frictionless sliding behaviour of the cylinder are regarded subsequently. The simulation is set up according to section 4.5.2 of (Iaconeta, 2019).
-Linear, unstructured, triangular elements with a size of 0.01m are used to initialize the MPs. Three MPs per cell are considered. For the backgroundmesh linear, unstructured, triangular elements with a size of 0.02m are used.
-However, in contrast to section 4.5.2 of (Iaconeta, 2019), the inclined plane is modelled by a line with unstructured elements with size 0.01m. On that line a non conforming Dirichlet boundary condition is imposed by using the penalty method based on (Chandra et al., 2021).
-
-The following applications of Kratos are used:
-- [MPMApplication](https://github.com/KratosMultiphysics/Kratos/tree/master/applications/MPMApplication)
-- [LinearSolversApplication](https://github.com/KratosMultiphysics/Kratos/tree/master/applications/LinearSolversApplication)
-
-The problem geometry as well as the boundary conditions are sketched below. The non conforming boundary condition is respresented by the copper coloured line.
-
-
- 
-
-
-A hyper elastic Neo Hookean Plane strain (2D) constitutive law with unit thickness is considered with the following material parameters:
-* Density (_ρ_): 7800 Kg/m3
-* Young's modulus (_E_): 200 MPa
-* Poisson ratio (_ν_): 0.3
-
-The time step is 0.001 seconds; the total simulation time is 1.0 seconds. The angle (_α_) of the inclined plane is 60°. The penalty-factor is 1e13.
-
-The contact between cylinder and inclined plane is modelled with the option "contact" (see line 53, file *ProjectParameters_contact.json*) in the first and with "slip" in the second case, based on (Chandra et al., 2021). Choosing "contact" leads to a rolling behaviour of the cylinder; "slip" to frictionless sliding.
-
-## Results
-The analytical and numerical solution for the displacement function of the respective case of the above stated problem are compared afterwards:
-
-
- 
-
-
-
-The left image displays the rolling cylinder - modelled with option "contact". The right one shows the sliding cylinder (frictionless) - modelled with option "slip".

-This is a 2D non-cohesive granular material simulation according to the experiment conducted by (Bui et al., 2008). Here, linear structured triangular elements are used to initialize the MPs and as the background mesh.

-## Theory
-
-Particle or meshfree methods are a category of methods where the state of a system is represented by a set of particles, without a fixed connectivity; hence, making such methods suitable for the analysis of moving discontinuities and large deformations with breaking and fragmentation. This approach does not suffer from the mesh distortion and entanglement issues posed by other Lagrangian discretizations such as the finite element method.

-**Material Point Method**
-
-The MPM is an hybrid thechnique which uses a fixed background grid (or mesh) for solving the governing equations in a FEM fashion and set of material particles (MP) for storing all the hystorical variables and material informations. MPM has gained a remarkably increasing popularity due to its capability in simulating problems involving historically dependent materials and large deformations. As MPM is able to combine the strengths of Eulerian and Lagrangian methods, it has been utilized in various engineering applications and industrial purposes, in particular in geomechanics and environmental fluid dynamics field.
